I feel confident in saying my setup at the time was not all that great, nor were my driving skills. However, to answer the question... Yes, it did make a difference.
I'd say for sure it helps with downforce. Even more so on longer/faster tracks. In the past, I have seen the same thing where cars lost their spoilers and looked terrible.
